g(x) = -(x + 1)^2 - 3
Let's simplify this equation
g(x) = -(x^2 + 2x + 1) - 3
Distribute the negative sign
g(x) = -x^2 - 2x + 1 - 3
Combine like terms
g(x) = -x^2 - 2x - 2
The value of a = -2 and this value is LESS THAN 0
The formula in getting the arithmetic sequence:
an = a1<span> + (n – 1)d.
</span>
We can substitute the values in order for us to know how many terms the sequence has.
an = 7373
a1 = 1313
d = 303
an = a1<span> + (n – 1)d
</span>7373 = 1313 + (n-1) 303
7373 = 1313 + 303n - 303
-303n = 1313 - 303 - 7373
303n = -1313 + 303 + 7373
303n = 6363
n = 21
So, there are 21 terms in the sequence given.
I think the answer is 15, because 5 divided by 2 is 2.5. 2.5 times 6 is 15
Can you show the multiple choice one
